The "Deputy Daddy" plastic thingy on the "Your the Bestest" just puts that one over the top IMHO. Usually every successive wreck manages to top the previous, but today you started with the best. OK, the orange bunny meets baseball bat is pretty close.

I still can't believe that bakeries try to get by selling things like this... surely the wreckporters were like me & just took pictures at the store/bakery they saw them in & didn't actually pay money for them. Yikes.

Note to self:Never (ever) airbrush a cookie. More specifically, never airbrush grass onto a cookie. Failure to follow these instructions will cause said cookie to be very moldy looking and unedible.Love,Me

Cake Wrecks has inspired me to make my dad a cake that is beyond my abilities for his birthday... I think I will make a baseball stadium... with plastic ballplayers... and an oversized ball... and perhaps something that resembles an orange bunny hopping on the field... and I will write Happy Birther's Dad, Day....

I'm sure this is going to have been pointed out at least six times by posters in between the last time comments were put through and the time mine is, but I'm puzzled by the last one. It's been a while since I've gone fishing, but shouldn't the line come from the top of the fishing pole, not the bottom? Unless there's a new type of fishing poles I don't know about where you put the line underwater and hold the pole by the top.

I actually assumed the so-called "golf" cake is supposed to be a sailboat, and the blue lines roughly represent the sail. What that white line with the triangular thing is is beyond me. Maybe an oar (not usually used in a sailboat, I admit, but the whole cake has me stumped)?

okay, so the "golf" one...definitely looks as though someone iced half of it green (for grass, i guess) and the other half blue (resembling a sky?) and then decided to try another route, so they scraped ALL of that icing off, leaving behind traces of blue and green soaked into the cookie. and then re-iced it to resemble something unknown to anyone but the actual wreckerator themselves.

I love the two last ones. They're note very representative of anything. This "golf" related one must be an ugly sailboat in an extremely algae infested pond. The bunny one is, as you said, a fishing rod and oddly shaped fish. I wonder if people need to learn more about boats and tackle?

That's the most abstract golf cake I've ever seen. I can kind of see disjointed elements of golf in it... allusions to grass, golf clubs, even a semblance of horrible plaid pants. Was it by any chance made by the same wreckerator as the mystery grill/UFO?

WV: mugis. Oh yeah? The cake may be a wreck, but it's still not as ugly as your mugis!

Human beings are the only creatures on earth that ARE concerned with how their food looks and as such we will pay for people to make it look good. So when we put our money down and they don't come across with nice looking food...well, simply put..we Do Care!

OK, I had to study the golf cake carefully but finally realized the big round white thing in the "sky" (as opposed to the sorta-round things which I think are clouds) is a golf ball...the blue lines are the trajectory of the ball into the small black hole. It's a bit like a Magic Eye picture but if you squint and stare long enough...you might just get it!

On the golf cookie catastrophe, I was thinking the ball in the sky was a white sun and the lines was to show the flag pole thing moving in the wind. That was the only explanation that I could come up with. However, thanks to Jacq Cooks I can see another perspective. Bad execution. And the discoloration in the background is gross and I love cookie cakes!

Ok - I've thought about the golf cake for a REALLY long time...and then went away and came back to it again!

Here's the final verdict - The white ball is the golf ball which is going TOWARD the black hole. the blue and white radar grid was supposed to show the movement of the ball, but it's going the wrong way. (I know it's a stretch, but I have NO other clue about the blue netting.)

ok so the "golf" one. I was like "Golf? what?!" Then I turned my head to the side, reverted my brain back a couple decades and said "OOOOOHHHHHHH. I see it...sadly. But why did they do that?"And I also saw Doty until I read your commentary. Then it all made sense.

I couldn't work out why the goldfish had...er...snot coming out of his nose (worked over by the baseball bat?) until I realised the baseball bat was supposed to be a fishing rod (with a curious pink dot on the end and a green dot next to it- huh?).WV: "anold"- the golf cookie was anold one they tried to jazz up (spectacularly unscuccessfully, I would say)...

I'm so glad my cake got posted (the first one)!! I still can't decide what I like most - "your" instead of "you're", "bestest," or the deputy daddy thing.You wouldn't know it, but it actually had a clip on it so my dad wore it after that.Great stuff.

I looked and looked at the "golf" cake, and what I came up with was the black line is a sprinkler, and the blue curved lines coming up from it are meant to represent water coming out of the sprinkler. In other words, Dad is only good for watering the lawn.

I really couldn't figure out what a ballpeen hammer and a goldfish spitting some white stuff on the cake had to do with each other or father's day. Thank you for explaining it is actually about beating bunnies. :)

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
